This week, I would like to hear what you did over spring break! More specifically, I would love to hear how you stayed active and worked off all that Easter candy that you ate! Please complete this in FULL SENTENCES. Read about my spring break below!
Over spring break I spent a lot of time with my 2 kids, Elliott and Gavin. We were very busy going to the YMCA every morning for me to get some exercise and my kids to play in the daycare center (which they love). Some of the places we went to are the Milwaukee County Zoo, the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, and Monkey Joes. Besides those places we took many walks and bike rides around the block, played with bubbles and chalk outside, and watched a bunch of movies. As you can see, I am not very good at sitting still even when I am not teaching gym class. :) Here is a picture of my kids at the zoo in Madison!

Body Composition = the amount of lean body mass compared to the amount of body fat.
What are 3 examples of "lean body mass"?
1. Bone
2. Muscle
3. Organs
4. Body Fluids
What are 3 of the benefits of fat in your body?
1. Acts as an insulator, helping the body adapt to heat and cold
2. Acts as a shock absorber, helping to protect internal organs and bones from injury.
3. Helps the body use vitamins effectively
4. Acts as storage energy when the body needs energy
5. Maintains healthy skin and hair
6. Regulates levels of cholesterol in the blood.
How do you think a person's body composition is tested?
~ Body Composition is measured by calculating a person’s Body Mass Index (or BMI). Elementary students’ body composition is constantly changing due to rapid growth spurts, so children have a different BMI calculation table than adults. Calculating your BMI is generally something your doctor will do at a wellness check that you might not even be aware of to make sure that your body is healthy.

4. How does fitness and health relate to gym (physical education) class?

Using a watch with a second hand, count the beats for 10 seconds.
Multiply that number by 6 to know what your heart rate is per minute.
* The average resting heart rate for a child is between 70 and 100 beats per minute so there is not one right answer. *

What are the risk factors of heart disease that you have control over
3. Learn how to take your heart rate by taking your pulse using one of the methods pictured below.
4. Take your resting heart rate - your resting heart rate is the speed of you heart when you are resting. It is best taken in the morning when you first wake up but after resting on the couch for a while with little movement would work fine as well for your homework.
Place fingers on neck/wrist and find pulse
Using a watch with a second hand, count the beats for 10 seconds.
Multiply that number by 6 to know what your heart rate is per minute.
* The average resting heart rate for a child is between 70 and 100 beats per minute so there is not one right answer. *
5. This time find your target heart rate range by doing the math yourself. Copy the answers below onto your personal page. The formulas at the bottom will help you find the answers.
* Copy the following bullets onto your page and put the answers in the spaces (they do not need to be underlined).*
My Age =
My Resting Heart Rate =
My Maximum Heart Rate =
My Minimum Training Heart Rate =
My Maximum Training Heart Rate =
Maximum Heart Rate:
220 - your age = (final answer)
Minimum Heart Rate :
220 - (your age) = (1st answer) - (resting heart rate) = (2nd answer) X 0.60 = (3rd answer) + (resting heart rate) = (final answer)
Maximum Heart Rate:
220 -( your age) = (1st answer) - (resting heart rate) = (2nd answer) X 0.80 = (3rd answer) + (resting heart rate) = (final answer)

Welcome Mrs. Bauer's Class!!!
Welcome to our new wiki that we will be using throught the school year. Some of us maybe already know how to use a wiki but others may not. So, to begin, I would like you to watch the following video on what a wiki is and what it can be used for to help you better understand how we plan on using this.
Once you have previewed this video, please find your personal page located on this wiki on the left toolbar under "all pages". Feel free to spruce up your page with color or pictures to make it your own space as long as it is easy for others to navigate. Then I would like you to write a few sentences telling me how your summer was and what your favorite activity was to get some practice using the wiki.
yeah
